They started pushing their new crap a while back.From what I heard, lots of folks objected, but they're going ahead anyway.Shades of Microsoft, you can't have it your way, you will have it our way, end of story.

Have you used Windows 8? It feels like 1984 and Big Brother. How I want to use my computer comes after how Microsoft wants me to use my computer.

The deal breaker came when Microsoft 8 informed me that Windows Mail no longer uses the Post Office Protocol they have always used. Windows 8 then advised that I contact my provider and ask them to change their email system. They refused.

I’ve been paying PB for 6 years because specialized graphics in every size imaginable is what I do. They downsized EVERY SINGLE IMAGE! I am enraged beyond words and I let them know. I am now in the process of moving nearly 8 thousand images to Image Shack.
Not to mention that pb has become unnavigable.

I have no choice but to use the latest version of Windows because I develop software and have to mimic my clients’ environment. If you must use 8, then take some time to learn the shortcut keys - Google on (Windows 8 cheat sheet) or something like that. Using them, it’s not so much different than 7 for me now.

My story is that I have no recollection of ever giving photovucket my payment info, and just now I het a note that says I am “renewed on auto billing” for my “pro” account. And - by the way they don’t have a slideshow feature set up yet.
How to xfer files from PB to Image Shack?
And - now that PB is “in transition” so they say, who’s to say ImageShack will be any better in 3 months?
